rak kach
3. at last
eddie ,   london Uk   (11.21.07)
we hope to see more of you in the future!
4. HaTikvah will definately get my vote
freejay ,   Israel   (11.21.07)
Ive been waiting for a party with common sense that tells the truth and represents Israels majority, which are secular. They will get my vote and support as long as they dont change what they stand for. NO PALASTINE!
5. Answer is Moshe Feiglin!
Israeli ,   Jerusalem   (11.21.07)
While there's nothing wrong with Hatikvah's message that the National camp most dedicated to Israel and the Jewish people should also be reaching out to all Israelis... Starting a new party isn't the way to do it. The way to do it is to bring the major Right-wing party back to its roots and then unify the entire Right-wing. When the genuine, Jewish-feeling votes can be unified on one party. Then with G-d's help, we can truly win.
6. new right partie
igal ,   los angeles usa   (11.21.07)
we needed to be all together secular religious all who love israel to try to stop olmert. olmert neededto go with all the kadima partie for the good of israel
7. Finally a voice of truth. I hope & pray that Israel listens.
AK   (11.21.07)
8. #4 Hatikvah must become a party of ALL patriots
AK   (11.21.07)
9. Israeli, the present parties are beyond redemption,
AK   (11.21.07)
You skipped from Likud and Labor to Kadima, you can switch to Hatikva. You simply want business as usual, even if there is an ample evidence that the current parties have ALL abysmally failed to unite and represent all clear thinging patriotic Israelis. I believe that the new party has a better chance reaching out to the religious community than the National religious Party to the secular Jews. There is no question that all zionists, whether secular or religious must make a common cause in order to to prevail over the corrupt post-zionist establishment currently leading Israel to destruction. Make this party succeed -- there is nobody else there to save israel.
10. wonderful !
Michael ,   Haifa   (11.21.07)
the more right-wing parties there are, the better it will be for Israel
11. right and left
Larry Rich ,   Ramat Ishai, Israel   (11.21.07)
A wise person once said: War is not about who is right ... Only who is left.
12. You would do alot more good joining Feiglin
Etoile ,   Montreal, CAN   (11.21.07)
I admire the good intentions of Mr. Misgav and his supporters of this new Hatikvah party, but focus is severly lacking. Nowhere in your article have I seen a presented solution. All I see in this article are criticisms regarding the Left's policy. That's hardly a platform! Only Feiglin presents a viable, meticulous alternative to the dysfunctional Leftist agenda. Watch this video, and you'll understand why.
13. New HaTikva party
Bear ,   Zefat   (11.21.07)
I agree with almost everything you said in your news release. What didn't i agree with? Your use of the word 'secular'. I'm a haredi person and anybody with any sense has to agree with your platform. It says in our holy books," where there is no man, be a man". Go for it! this may be just what our wonderful country is waiting for..
14. I will support any parties that believes the Jordan is Pale
e.m ,   s.f   (11.21.07)
And that party strongly will support that the Israeli Arabs plus Arabs in Yehoudah and shomron must move to theirs State JORDANotherwise I don’t believe in any parties because any others solution will not salve this conflict. Two State for two nations Israel Jewish State and Jordan Palestinians State
15. "No" to Feiglin
Aharon   (11.21.07)
This is a secular right wing party. If only we had MORE secular parties to choose from Israelis wouldn't feel so alienated by their non-representative government! Think about it, we have Likud which is semi-religious, UTJ/NRP/Shas which are religious, and Yisrael Beitenu which is clearly corrupt. In other words, there are NO secular right wing parties, which alienates all of the secular right and leaves them having to vote for people like Lieberman or Netanyahu. In other words, NO TO FEIGLIN.
16. I will support any parties don’t believes the Jordan is Pale
e.m ,   s.f   (11.22.07)
And that party must strongly will support that the Israeli Arabs plus Arabs in Yehoudah and shomron must move to theirs State JORDAN otherwise I don’t believe in any parties because any others solution will not salve this conflict. Two State for two nations Israel Jewish State and Jordan Palestinians State. Sorry for my mistake
17. Finally a true Right Party
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.22.07)
Likud has adopted most of the positions of Peace Now. Bibi is just as responsible as Olmert for Annapolis. We are finally going to have somebody to represent us. Shas are a bunch of freeloading whores and the Russians just want to get the perks of being a government minister. We haven't had a right wing party in a long time.
18. Unfortunately...they will give the land away...
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (11.22.07)
and several years from now, when Arabs incessantly bomb Israeli towns and cities...the Jews will be left with no choice but a war to take all the land back again. The Arabs have never planned on peace for land....it is all a big ruse being pushed Chamberlains glee club. Lets all be happy and hopeful before we all go back to war.
19. Not the left nor the right will do, only this will
Khalil Abo Mohammad ,   Ein Karem, Al Quds   (11.22.07)
This will not fly. The only solution that will end this forever is this: Set an international body (UN) to restore all property back to the real owners as it was before May 1948 ( use Jordan, UK and Turkey records as guidence) then allow all such people either to live in, sell or lease such property at thire choice. NEXT is free elections in historical Palestine from Jordan Rev to Midt SEA. Compensate the owners for the usage of such property for the last 60 years and do the same to the JEWS who left Arab countries at the same time. End of zoinizim and imperiallizim. There is no other way forward except living by the sward and ending also by sward for Jews or Arabs and Muslims. Say 16 millions as oppose to 1.5 billions, the result is well known. Make your choice befor it is too late.
20. the one believe on god on a border line
nuha ,   jerusalem   (11.22.07)

ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (11.22.07)
YOU ALL SAME. ALWAYS DEEP GAMES. YOU WILL NEVER LEARN TO WIN FOR LONG RUN.
28. Another Plolitical Party?
Ephraim Rubinger ,   Miami, USA   (11.22.07)
I don't think that the right wing in Israel needs yet another political party. There are good leaders in the National Camp; such as Moshe Feiglin and Benny Allon. Swallow your secular agenda at least for a few motnhs and get behind one of them.The future of the Sate of Israel cannot afford yet another split.
29. only "peace for peace" can succeed!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (11.22.07)
